Previously shared on dime by Kev & Carl (thanks a lot) and recorded by Dan (thanks a million), here it's the 24 bit version of the gig, as it was originally shared and without any modifications. The original info: "Once in a while, karma smiles and something really special just sort of falls in your lap. This is one of those moments. Carl was up in Foxboro, Mass to see John Wetton and The School Of Rock All-Stars, and being the friendly guy that he is, he started talking with the guy sitting next to him. Turns out they had more than a little common musical ground, starting with King Crimson and it worked rapidly downhill from there. Shockingly, the topic of tapes came up and it just so happens this guy taped a bunch of shows in the 1970s that he essentially kept to himself. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out what happened next. This series of torrents represents the fruits of Carl's labour - multiple trips to Dan's house to pick up tapes, lovingly and carefully transfer the recordings and then prepare them for our collective listening pleasure. It is my honour to be able to seed these recordings and I hope that everyone who downloads them will get as much enjoyment out of them as we have. The master list of the shows Dan recorded is still under construction and we will circulate that as well as some photographic documentation of the project somewhere down the line. Please don't clog my inbox with requests for your favourite band(s) or a show you hope may exist after all these years.....just kick back, relax and let the surprises unfold..... Without any further delay, I present for your enjoyment: Queen Boston Music Hall Boston, MA 30 January 1976 Master audience recording taped by Dan Lampinski 01 Bohemian Rhapsody (Opera & Reprise) 02 Ogre Battle 03 Sweet Lady 04 White Queen 05 Flick Of The Wrist 06 Bohemian Rhapsody -> 07 Killer Queen -> 08 The March Of The Black Queen -> 09 Bohemian Rhapsody (Reprise) -> 10 Bring Back That Leroy Brown 11 Brighton Rock -> 12 Guitar Solo -> 13 Son And Daughter(Reprise) 14 The Prophet's Song 15 Stone Cold Crazy 16 Doing All Right 17 Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon 18 Keep Yourself Alive 19 Seven Seas Of Rhye 20 Liar 21 In The Lap Of The Gods...Revisited 22 E1: Now I'm Here 23 E2: Hey Big Spender/Jailhouse Rock/Be Bop A Lula/God Save The Queen Sony TC-152SD Tape Recorder Sony ECM-99 Stereo Microphone Maxell cassettes Mastered and FLAC'ed by Carl Morstadt (dantalion8@yahoo.com) Master Cassette -> Nakamichi CR-3A cassette deck with azimuth correction -> M-Audio Firewire Audiophile 2496 -> CDWAV 24-bit/96-KHz wav files -> Goldwave (normalizing and crossfades) -> CDWAV (track breaks) -> FLAC Front End (FLAC 8) FLAC files tagged with Foobar2000 Live Show Tagger No EQ'ing. A 16-bit/44.1-KHz flac16 version of this recording is also available. Dan Lampinski recorded over 100 concerts in the Providence/Boston area, mostly between 1974 and 1978. His earliest recordings were made with an internal microphone deck, and though they are somewhat lo-fi compared to his later work, some very great moments in rock history were captured for posterity. In late 1974 he bought a Sony TC-152SD tape recorder, a Sony ECM-99 stereo microphone, and began using Maxell cassettes. He was also fortunate enough to have a friend who provided excellent taping seats for many shows, resulting in high quality recordings. In 1977, he switched over to a Nakamichi 550 tape recorder, two Nakamichi CM-300 microphones, and continued using Maxell cassettes. He recorded many of the major 70's bands: Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Queen, Blue Oyster Cult, Frank Zappa, Jethro Tull, ELP, Kiss, Black Sabbath, The Who, Al Stewart, Alice Cooper, Jeff Beck, Bruce Springsteen, Supertramp, Jean-Luc Ponty, Moody Blues, Neil Young, The Faces, Rush, Rick Wakeman, Kansas, as well as several "under the radar" acts. Since Dan never traded copies of his recordings, they are all essentially uncirculated. Some copies were made for friends, but these releases are the first time most of these recordings have ever seen the light of day, and are direct from his master cassettes. No EQ'ing has been done to any of the transfers. Feel free to EQ, matrix, patch, etc and re-post if you like, just give Dan credit for the original recording. Dan was very meticulous about taking good care of his tapes and is very pleased that these recordings will now circulate among the trading community. Please honour his kindness and generosity by sharing these recordings freely. The transfers are available as 16bit/44.1KHz flac files suitable for CD burning, and also as 24bit/96KHz flac files for those who prefer the higher resolution. Always remember - the more generous you are with your music, the more it comes back to you. Kev & Carl June 2009" |

Thanks Yara. I'm already grabbing this from Dime so I'll merge with your torrent so people here can get a boost too. |

Thanks a million! I'm anxious to hear this tape after the reviews it's getting... |

I'm averaging between 300-400 kbps. In fact, I'm getting 300 of them from a single person. Thanks, seeders! |

Are there notable differences between this one and the 16 bit version? Also, how do you burn these files with Nero? What steps should I take? |
pittrek 28.06.2009 04:38 |
Fantastic Yara ! Thank you very much, dear, I try to get it when I come home.
Rick wrote: Are there notable differences between this one and the 16 bit version? Also, how do you burn these files with Nero? What steps should I take?Sorry, you can't burn this as an CDDA (audio CD). This is only for "archiving purposes" and for listening on your computer. To be able to burn it as a CDDA you must use the 16bit/44.1 kHz version |
Rick 28.06.2009 04:43 |
Thanks Peter for explaining. :) |
Tim June 28.06.2009 08:39 |
Thank you very much for the torrent! Wow. What a great atmosphaere, what a great concert. It seems like one of the best late-early Queen recordings. The whole band is on fire and the sound of the recording is a bit better than the famous Tokyo 1975 recording. I will never understand why Queen don't release stuff like this for the big public. They are musically absolute on the top. And in my opinion, the Queen concerts from the mid 70ies stood the test of time much more than the live material from Led Zeppelin or Deep Purple from the same time, which was released. |

Rick wrote: Thanks Peter for explaining. :) But you can make a VideoDVD with the 24 bit version. You can use a simple background as a picture and the audio from this version converted to LPCM. |

Robbieboy 30.06.2009 01:04 |
Thanks a lot for this, a great setlist and I can't wait to hear it! My first visit to the 'Announce' forum of this fine website has seen me acquire the wonderful 'Miracle Game' from Tokyo '81 and then I find this gem!! At the risk of sounding ungrateful (which I am most certainly not) does anyone know of some album artwork for this one, or is anyone considering creating some? Again, thanks a bunch! |
FREDDIEMANIAC 30.06.2009 01:55 |
I cannot believe that FREDDIE and QUEEN were right here in my back yard.....at the Music Hall in Boston in 1976!!! I've seen lots of shows there, so I know what a fabulous place it is to see acts. I only wish it didn't take me half my life to discover the greatest band and the most awesome, unbelievable, dynamic genius of FREDDIE MERCURY... I guess it's better late than never! But, at least I've finally seen the light, and now am their most ardent fan!! They truly are an addiction, aren't they? But, what a wonderful addiction it is!! I cannot wait to hear these lost tapes from their shows here in Boston!! But how do I go about getting them? I'm not clear on how and when I can hear them. Can you please shed some light? Thank you!! QUEEN ROCKSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!! |

I also like to use DVD Audio Creator to make DVDs out of 24/96 wav files. It actually makes a DVD video disc that will play your 24/96 music in any DVD player. You need to know that not all DVD players will pass 24/96 without downsampling first. If your DVD player can't pass 24/96 without downsampling it defeats the whole purpose making a DVD with 24/96 audio. I'm sure there are also some people here that will make true DVD-audio discs out of these files to play in their DVD-A players. |

I'm just courious to hear this version because SirGH said that it sounds more clearer. I have Windows Media Player 11 too. I decoded simply using the decoding audio options in Traders little helper. May be I have to re-encoded or something else? |

Thank you so much for this. the sound is excellent. I'm listening to it now on my lap top. I can't wait to burn it & play it in the car w/ a proper stereo! I will continue to seed as long as i can. Thanks again!! Also, can anyone tell me how I can get thi to play w/out the spacing pause between the tracks? I haven't been able to figure that out. Thanks, Steve |

Well, this is definitely one of the best Queen audience recordings I've ever heard - particularly from the ANATO tour! The only thing that could be done is speed correction as the recording is a half step higher (faster). I only have Audacity to do this kind of thing. Does anybody else have a better editor and would be willing to bring the whole thing down a half step? If that was done this would rank as hands down the best Queen boot out there! |

You people are weird. Instead of going for the faster version which takes less of your time to enjoy it, you prefer spending a whole lot of time making it slower to spend even more time listening to the thing. If your wife, husband or children end up killing you for failing to live up to the real life demands out there, I'm not guilty. I live on the fast lane. I tried to be helpful. If you wanna drag, it's not my responsibility. It's just a caveat. The easiest thing in the world is correcting the pitch inside your own mind while you're listening to the stuff. If you're listening to the thing while you're working out and jogging, just start running or doing the exercises a bit slower that the sound will end up making sense. It's all about how we construe and experience time - the notion that there's an "objective time out there" is nonsense. What if you already tend to perceive the tune as being lower than what the objectivists say it should sound? That's all too common. Speed correction is quite tangled up with our own identities in the end of the day. And it's a major factor in determining whether someone will turn out to be a terrorist, for instance. I issued the warning and my consciousness is at ease. Good night. |
